About Xavier
I grew up in Montreal, Quebec, where I attended a "French-from-France" school (College Marie-de-France). I can say that I am equally fluent in French as in Quebecois!
As an aside, I like to correct my wife's French, even though she grew up in Paris: not "un software" but "un logiciel". Not an "email" but "un courriel". And so on, tongue-in-cheek.
I have worked most of my life in the world of software-making, but have other interests such as art-making and the outdoors. I'm always curious about what people would do if they didn't have to earn money. It's wonderful to see someone come alive when they describe their dream "job". Good conversation starter!
And hey, I speak fluent English, that can come in handy :-)

Conversation: I won't cut you off mid-sentence. I'll give you feedback every few minutes and we'll revisit that part of the conversation that needs a bit of help.
Formal learning: depending on where you want to progress, I will obtain material which we'll use as a basis for your learning.
I'm empathic. By default I don't push my students unless they clearly request it. Some want to take things lightly and that's fine. On the other hand some students like to be pushed a bit more. I cater to all.

Xavier is an amazing teacher. He is attentive, smart, and he will figure-out your learning blocks and remove them before you are even aware they existed. He is a French Native speaker.
My upstairs neighbor and friend Xavier is kind, patient, and easy to be with. He's a great listener. He takes the time to ask clarifying questions and so I feel he is interested in what I have to say and cares about what I'm thinking and feeling. These are qualities that any student would appreciate in a teacher, since developing the confidence to speak freely is especially important when learning and practicing a new language.
--&Marylin EastwoodI worked with Xavier for several years in a technical environment. I found him very knowledgeable as well as very pleasant to work with. He was very patient and careful in crafting and in explaining the solutions that he developed. A good listener, and full of good ideas. Should make an excellent tutor.
Xavier is an exceptional French educator who makes the language feel both intuitive and accessible. I have seen his teaching methods firsthand, and his ability to simplify complex grammar while keeping lessons engaging is truly impressive. He is a dedicated professional who I highly recommend to any learner whatever their level in french.
